N205DJ

This entry documents airframe N205DJ, a corporate transport built in 1979 as serial number 399. The airframe is a Dassault Falcon 20F-5 formerly manufactured by Dassault-Breguet (Dassault Aviation) and is currently owned by Falcon 399 LLC (an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US). The aircraft is registered in the US registry and, reflecting its 1979 build year and completed upgrades, carries an estimated market value of $1,200,000. Acquisition by Falcon 399 LLC and continued US registration represent the most recent notable ownership and registry entries.

The cabin of N205DJ is a nine-passenger executive layout with a forward four-place club, mid-cabin seating, and an aft three-place divan, plus a belted jump seat in a tenth position. Avionics fit includes a Universal EFI-890R (3-panel EFIS) suite, Collins AP-105 autopilot, dual UNS-1L FMS, Universal TAWS, TCAS II, and Garmin GTX3000 ADS‑B, supporting modern navigation, traffic awareness, and terrain alerting. With a cruise speed of 405 kts and a range of 1,808 nm, the aircraft is typically suited to medium-range executive missions and regional point-to-point charters from its operator base in Wilmington, Delaware. Given its age and installed systems, inspection and maintenance cycles focus on the TFE-731 engines and avionics longevity to maintain operational reliability.

As a Dassault Falcon 20F-5, this airframe sits in the late-1970s generation of twin-engine corporate jets offering high cruise speeds and transregional range within a nine-seat executive configuration. Its performance figures — 405 kts cruise and 1,808 nm range — define its niche for efficient regional executive transport. Market considerations for this specific airframe include the modest valuation at $1,200,000, the 1979 build year (serial 399) that implies increased maintenance and overhaul activity compared with newer types, and the presence of upgraded avionics which can favor continued charter or private operation while influencing resale prospects.
